&M hosts cross country meet
jThe Texas A&M men and wom
ens cross country teams will try to
run away from an 18-team field this
jernoon when they host the Aggie
Invitational Cross Country Meet at 5
T
|The women’s team, which is com
ing off a fourth-place finish at last
' week's University of Texas-San An
tonio Invitational, will open the meet
iwith a 5,000- meter race. Kelly Mad
den led the Aggies last week with a
time of 17 minutes, 28 seconds to
fi|ish in ninth place.
The men will compete in a five-
mile race at 5:30 p.m. in the hope of
outdistancing Southwest Conference
opponents Southern Methodist,
Houston and Baylor. The men also
had a successful weekend at the
UTSA meet where they finished
third overall. Sophomore Calvin Ga-
ziano paced the team with a personal
best of 25:01 to finish in fifth place.
A&M Cross Country Coach Steve
Silvey said both teams are ready for
a very competitive meet.
“All of our runners, both men and
women, had their personal bests of
the fall at the UTSA meet,” Silvey
said.
Silvey also said his No. 3 runner
on the men’s team, Joel Toland,
should be ready to run after strain
ing a hamstring earlier this season.
With Toland, the Aggies will be able
to start their top seven runners to
gether for the first time this season.
The meet is scheduled to be held
at the A&M Golf Course, but could
be moved to the Polo grounds due to
the wet weather.

Flutie has first workout
with new Bear clan
LAKE FOREST, III. (AP)—Quar
terback Doug Flutie was no sooner
introduced to the Chicago Bears
Wednesday when Coach Mike Ditka
announced that Jim McMahon
would start at quarterback Sunday
against the Detroit Lions.
“Jim threw and he threw well,”
Ditka said. “He did everything that
was asked of him. He threw more
than he has in a long time.”
Ditka said it was McMahon’s ach
ing back and not his shoulder injury
that kept him out of the 23-7 loss at
Minnesota last Sunday, the Bears’
first. McMahon had missed three of
the first seven games because of a va
riety of injuries but he apparently
has recovered.
“I said to the players T’d like to in
troduce Doug Flutie,’ ” Ditka said.
What did they say?
“A couple of them threw tomatoes
at me,” Ditka joked. “But I think a
couple of them invited him to din
ner.”
Ditka bristled when he was asked
what he saw in Flutie that intrigued
him.
“I’m going to answer that question
for the last time,” Ditka snapped. “I
like 10,579 yards. He took his team
to three bowl games, he won the
Heisman. He didn’t do it by mirrors,
he did it throwing.”
McMahon, who was most vocal
against the Bears acquiring Flutie,
was not available for comment after
the practice and refused to talk to re
porters earlier.
Flutie said he hadn’t met all the
players yet “but one by one they
came up and introduced themselves.
It was a good greeting, they eased
me in. Yes,T met McMahon.
Flutie, who hasn’t played football
since the spring of 1985 when he was
with the New Jersey Generals of the
dormant United States Football
League, appeared pleased to be back
in uniform.
“The football environment feels
great,” Flutie said. “I missed it.”
Flutie also talked to the other Chi
cago quarterbacks, Steve Fuller and
Mike Tomczak.
“Mike and I know each other, we
were in the Japan Bowl together,”
Flutie said. “I talked to him more
than anybody else.”
